The new Truphone for Android release 3.0 integrates a full VoIP engine
allowing users to make free calls to Truphone, Google Talk and Skype users
when both parties are in Wi-Fi, in addition to low cost calls to landlines
and mobiles around the world whether they are in or out of Wi-Fi. This,
coupled with a new, refreshed interface makes this the application of choice
for the user who wants top quality user experience from their mobile VoIP
application. The new release version 3.0 replaces the current live version
2.0.

The Truphone application for Android is available now as a free download
in the Android Market (www.android.com/market ). The new Truphone
Android application is compatible with the HTC G1, HTC Magic and HTC Hero.
Compatibility with other Android models with firmware 1.5 or above, including
the Motorola Droid and the Nexus One will follow soon.

Truphone's Android application also includes fully integrated
multi-headed Instant Messaging support for Skype, Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo!
and MSN customers, allowing users to easily switch between different
conversations and keep in touch with their friends whichever IM service they
use.

"We are delighted to be able now to offer the full Truphone experience to
Android device owners around the world", said Geraldine Wilson, CEO of
Truphone. "The Truphone application allows customers to make free or low cost
calls from their mobiles whether they are in or out of Wi-Fi, whether they
are using the Android, iPhone, iPod touch or Blackberry devices. The cost
savings, convenience and unparalleled call quality on Truphone makes it
really easy to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues all over the
world."

The application builds on the company's previous release which allowed
customers to make low cost calls on their mobiles when out of Wi-Fi. When out
of Wi-Fi, the application works by making a local GSM call to the Truphone
gateway (if a customer has a bundled package of minutes this call is often
free, otherwise is charged as a 'local call'*), from where the call is then
routed over the Truphone network. For details on Truphone's low-cost call
rates visit www.truphone.com.

Truphone's award winning solutions offer a consistent high quality
calling experience through use of innovative handset software and premium
voice routing partners and are available in relevant application stores or
from the Truphone website: www.truphone.com.

* Operator roaming charges will apply if you are abroad.

Calls can be made outside of Wi-Fi using 'Truphone Anywhere' in 33 countries around the world, saving Android users from those countries money on international calls made from their home country. The easy-to-use service works alongside domestic service providers, but reduces international call costs to as little as 0.03 pounds Sterling/$0.06 [UK/RoW] per minute. 2. Unlike a 'calling card', Truphone Anywhere doesn't require a user to remember what to do. Whenever an international number is dialled Truphone Anywhere simply asks whether he/she wants to make a Truphone call. The user simply accepts, and Truphone connects the call.
